Me too..Whitlock needs more exposure on TV, but he and ESPN don't see eye to eye so we have to read soundbytes like these or wait for Fox to hire him...or is he on their radio network or one of the satillite networks??

I did see some one comment either on You Tube or one of the articles throw in the Imus reference which was a shame. But he made me laugh when he said that this was just a "sweaty pillow fight in shorts and tank tops" Surprised he didn't just say it was a Girls Gone Wild segment...

Awww Shucks!!!! I think she tore it in the game and aggravated during the fight. Shock would have been hard pressed to win it all this year, Tweety's also playing on a bad ankle and bad toe, too many holes this season, looks like the storm are going to win it all this season, Sue Bird, Lauren Jackson and Swin Cash is solid core to go with the role playing vet Swoopes.

MAN you are just full of rays of sunshines. But you are absolutely right. It would be a miracle for the Shocks to be in the Conference Finals with what you said. Ah well. At least we have the USA basketball and then the NBA later this fall to look forward to.

So I guess I'm the only one that noticed that the only reason Lisa Leslie was off balance in the first place was because she can clearly be seen throwing a punch at Mahorn with her right hand right before she fell backwards?

Watch it. It's there. She swung at him.

Thank You. I felt like i was going nuts for a second. You could see it on the ESPN highlight.

You mean another shot at Title town is in danger? Pistons fold, Tigers struggle out of the gate & now Shock lose Karla Malone for the season?? Do I have to wear my Red Wing Championship t shirt every weekend?

If she tore it or slightly injured during the game, why was she out there in the end snatching rebounds from Parker?? Notice in the tapes that when she fell no one noticed and even Bill was walking away from her.

Since they have a month long Olympic break, maybe Tweety will comeback healthy...but in the mean time either Braxton or rookie Tasha Humphrey will have to slide into Fords spot...

Basketball Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman is leaving the broadcast booth for the floor one more time -- and to set one more record.

The Detroit Shock have signed Lieberman, the team's former coach and a current ESPN basketball analyst, to a seven-day contract, meaning she will become the oldest player to ever suit up for a WNBA game. She turned 50 on July 1.

"It is an amazing opportunity to continue to play the game I love," Lieberman said.

Lieberman set the mark as the oldest player in WNBA history with the Phoenix Mercury, at 39 years, 54 days in 1997, the league's inaugural season.

"At last year's WNBA All-Star Game, our coaching staff watched Nancy run through the skills test. She was very impressive," said team coach and GM Bill Laimbeer. "We talked after that if the opportunity ever arose to sign her to a seven-day contract we might give her a call. There is no question she is in great shape. I approached her two weeks ago, but the timing was not right."

"Can she still compete at this level? I don't know," Laimbeer said. "But I'm going to throw her in the fire."

The signing comes in the wake of the Shock losing forward Cheryl Ford for the season with a torn ACL. They will likely lose more players to suspensions stemming from Tuesday's benches-clearing scuffle with the Los Angeles Sparks.

Lieberman won two college national championships at Old Dominion and was a member of two U.S. Olympic teams, winning gold at Montreal in 1976 and joining the roster of the 1980 team that would have gone to the U.S.-boycotted Moscow Games. She was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1999.

At age 50 I think she kinda hot when she appeared on ESPN last years commentary during the WNBA FINALS

I did see some one comment either on You Tube or one of the articles throw in the Imus reference which was a shame.

Whitlock got a lot of criticism for his opinions on the IMUS incident so this was a little reference to all their hoopla that surrounded that. He was paraded around the talk show circuit because of it and it was a real dog and pony show. Not an allusion to this causing more IMUS like remarks IMO.

Did I just lose 80 IQ points, or are the Shock signing a 50 year old woman to a 7 day contract?

Could it be both?

You know, I can think of a certain retired PG who won't be that old for three more years. Unlike his former backcourt mate he looks like he can still play. He has probably lost a few steps, but at least you won't ever see hear him talk about flipping the switch.
